“This film overwhelms me completely. It certainly will be in the list of my top ten most favourite films I saw in 2017…It reminds me of two of my most favourite films of all time. One is I-BE AREA (2007, Ryan Trecartin), because both ANTS IN THE LEGS and I-BE AREA are extremely funny and energetic, and portray one actor or one actress in various styles. The other film is VIDEO 50 (1978, Robert Wilson), because both VIDEO 50 and ANTS IN THE LEGS put scenes which seem to be unrelated to each other with each other, and sometimes this kind of weird juxtaposition results in one of the most hilarious moments I have ever experienced in my life.” Jit Phokaew, Independent Reviewer

“Set against the backdrop of contemporary Sydney, Danielle Zorbas explores the depravities of modern living with a cinematic barrage of ‘bad art’ aesthetic drenched scenarios and absurd archetypes in this memetic piece of non-linear video art that will leave you second guessing your surroundings.” Sam Freeman, Bangkok Underground Film Festival

“As confronting as the relentless, oversaturated mania of ‘ants’ may be, it feels undeniably true to the cultural moment we’re in right now. Truth is precisely what Danielle seeks to ‘queer’ with her practice and in a media landscape scarred by fake news and anxious to define itself as ‘post-truth’, there is nothing we need more.” Xiaoran Shi, i-D Vice
